openafs-devel-1_5_x is dead.   Use master.

gerrit is not configured to work with all branches.  At the moment it
will work with master, openafs-stable-1_4_x, and
openafs-windows-kdfs-ifs-branch.

git doesn't affect the build rules for the Windows client.  Did you
update your build setup files to specify the correct AFSROOT for the
source tree you are building?  Are you using the correct top-level
NTMakefile?
